Hello Fashionista/o! My name is Allessa Faustino and I am currently a sophomore at San Diego State University with a major in Graphic Design.
I started becoming interested in fashion during a gap year I took between graduating high school and starting my freshman year in college. During that year, I was blessed to intern with Cosmopolitan Magazine Philippines’s print and web teams, as well as become a Style Ambassador for Aéropostale Philippines. Both experiences were a lot of work, but they were also extremely fun and rewarding. It was a whirlwind of fast-paced events, articles and sleeping, eating, and breathing fashion. After being exposed to the fashion industry, becoming a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista is the perfect fit for me.
My style consists of mainly black pieces, as well as bright, tropical and beach-y pieces. Today, I chose to wear an all-black ensemble. I paired a classic black pasha cami with my favorite black skinnies. To accessorize, I put on a gold necklace, a simple bracelet, and a black and gold studded clutch. To top off the look and add a pop of color, I pulled out my latest obsession, my new neon lace-up heels. This outfit is definitely one of my go-tos because it is so versatile. A quick shoe change to flats can easily take it from being a daytime look to a date night look.
I am so excited for this next chapter as a CollegeFashionista Style Guru and to be able to share this incredible experience with all the #RAD Fashionistas/os around the world!
